Scenarios
Bullish — buyers hold 1.32101: the trigger is a 4-hour close back above 1.32594, which opens the path toward 1.32673. Confirmation strengthens if the hourly structure flips bullish as well. This view fails on a 4-hour close below 1.32101.
Bearish — sellers break 1.32101: the trigger is a 4-hour close under 1.32101, which exposes 1.32000 next. This view fails if price reclaims 1.32594 on a 4-hour close.
Neutral — chop between 1.32101 and 1.32594: both edges are the levels to watch; a 4-hour close outside picks the direction.
Levels are zones, not exact lines. Waiting for a 4-hour close beyond a level filters out most intraday noise.
Charts
A quick note on the SBT lens used below. Structure-Based Trading defines ten models, and every one of them is built on the same foundation: a proper 123 swing pattern, a break of structure (BOS), and a price-delivery array — an order block, fair-value gap or mitigation zone — where price is expected to react. Each chart reading names the SBT model forming on that timeframe when its criteria are actually visible, and says so plainly when none is.
Chart reading — D1: A bearish 123 is taking shape, but structure has not broken yet — no BOS means no model trigger on this timeframe. Price wicked into the supply zone 1.32383–1.32963 and held — sellers defended the PD array, the retest SBT Models 7/8 wait for. Equal highs/lows rest at 1.31762 (sell-side liquidity). A sweep there before the real move is the inducement leg SBT Models 7/8 look for — watch 1.32000 / 1.32673 for the follow-through.
Chart reading — H4: No clean 123 on this timeframe — price is drifting neutral inside its range. A wick probed the demand zone 1.31915–1.32061 and was absorbed — buyers defended the PD array, the retest SBT Models 7/8 wait for. Turtle soup: bullish liquidity at 1.32100 was swept and price closed back inside the range. SBT Models 9/10 are built for exactly this — the sweep is the inducement, and the opposite PD array is the next magnet.
Chart reading — H1: No clean 123 on this timeframe — price is drifting neutral inside its range. Demand 1.31959–1.32023 below, supply 1.32562–1.32626 above — both PD arrays untouched; the first test decides the range scenario. Matching highs/lows mark 1.31989: resting sell-side liquidity. A sweep there before the real move is the inducement leg SBT Models 7/8 look for — watch 1.32000 / 1.32594 for the follow-through.
Chart reading — M15: No clean 123 on this timeframe — price is drifting bullish inside its range. A stop-run wick tagged the demand zone 1.32121–1.32163 and failed — buyers defended the PD array, the retest SBT Models 7/8 wait for. Equal highs/lows at 1.32011: resting sell-side liquidity — a sweep here is the inducement leg.
